How to Get Your Craft in a Magazine

Whether a professional or a part-time crafter, if you would like to publish your craft so that you can share your knowledge and help others with their projects, then look no further. A good way to get started is by writing articles explaining the creation process and giving your readers a step-by-step guide on how to make your craft. Share your expertise, provide your readers with detailed instructions and publish your articles in magazines.

Write an introduction, detailed instructions to accompany the photographs, a list of all materials and specify the skill level needed for the project.
